How has the coronavirus pandemic affected world football? 
Automatic translate
Due to the fact that the coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the international association WHO, world sports were gradually closed. All sporting events such as the NBA, NHL or English Football League have been suspended around the world. Championships in leading football countries were temporarily suspended. FIFA also allowed clubs not to release their players to national teams.

The main problems associated with the virus and the restrictions imposed
Despite this, the infection is gaining momentum and endangering a huge number of people. Football players are also not protected from this unpleasant phenomenon. Thus, such famous football players as Cristiano Ronaldo, Danile Rugani, Manolo Gabbiadini, Cutrone, etc. have contracted the coronavirus. Most of them are asymptomatic, but their contact with other people can cause harm.
In addition to the harm caused to the health of football players and the public in general, the suspension of sporting events has had a significant negative impact on the working calendar and budgets of football associations and clubs. The budget suffers from the lack of revenue from ticket sales, and the calendar from the shift in key games.
Another pressing problem associated with the closure of championships is the psychological state of football players. You need to understand that before this break, spectators had the opportunity to watch football 364 days a year, around the clock, regardless of their location. Due to such global popularity of football, football players’ fees have been fixed at very high levels. However, their income directly depends on the display of matches, the number of viewers, as well as advertising and brand popularity.
The average statistical player of the main team of a more or less decent team plays approximately 3-4 games per month. In addition, the responsibilities of top football players include communication with the media, sponsorship requirements, training, travel, and physical exercise.
All their actions come down to improving key physical qualities such as managing fatigue, pain, constant stress and pressure from fans. That is why a long break in their main activity can contribute to the dulling of these qualities, which in the future can negatively affect the careers of football players.
Also another cause for concern for football clubs and players were restrictions on the duration of contracts with players. Due to the break, the players cannot fully work out their contracts, which may lead to their further termination.
Measures taken to resolve the current situation
The solution to this problem for European competitions was the UEFA order to move the playoff rounds of the Champions League and Europa League to individual cities. At the same time, the teams had to play not two matches traditionally, but one at a time, quickly moving towards the final stage of the tournament. However, these measures only partially compensated for gaps in budgets and calendars. Other major sporting tournaments have been completed without spectators except EURO 2020, which has been postponed to 2021.
Thus, the pandemic is a huge problem for the entire football world. Football players and their clubs have no choice but to wait for the epidemiological situation to stabilize.
